American presidents are usually unusual men, some more unusual than others. Among the most unusual is Donald John Trump, one of two men to recapture the presidency after losing it. The other was Grover Cleveland who lost it in 1888 only to return in 1892. Although Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt tried and failed to regain the presidency in 1912, he remained a source of inspiration.
Trump, like Teddy, displayed admirable campaign toughness, in pain. When he was shot in 1912 while campaigning in Wisconsin, Teddy insisted on finishing his speech and compared himself to a 'bull moose', thereby giving rise to the 'Bull Moose' party which lost to Princeton professor Woodrow Wilson. When he was shot while campaigning in Pennsylvania in 2024, Trump raised his fist and shouted 'fight, fight, fight' and went on to recapture the presidency.
